New Feature: Invitation-Only Teams

Many teams want to be an “open” team and allow anyone to join, while some teams prefer to limit their team membership to co-workers, schoolmates, friends, etc. For those who would like more control of who can join their team, this feature may be for you.

Team leaders will find an option to make their team invitation-only on their Edit Your Team page (and on the Create Team page when first creating a team.)

The following are more details about what it means and what will happen for invitation-only teams.

• People must be invited to join an invitation-only team. Users cannot join without an invitation.
• All team members (including the team leader) can invite other people to the team.
• If an existing Rallyer wants to join an invitation-only team, they will prompted to request an invitation when clicking on the Join This Team button. Requests will be sent to the Team Leader.
• Team Leaders may respond to requests with a message back that enables a new member to join. Team leaders may also decline a request by ignoring it.
